So far I have 2 come up from seed I planted, anyone know how big they grow and if they are self-fertile please ? Any suggestions?

Been thanked: 1 time

They can make 30 - 40 ft trees and I don't think they fruit until they are mature. They aren't frost hardy either, so unless they can mature enough in a tub with restricted roots I don't think you will get them to fruit in this country. They do germinate very easily from seeds don't they.

Perhaps someone has had success with a bonsai version.

That is a good idea Plumpudding, thank you, I will try a bonsai version.
